Love of a Tree Hugger

Chapter 28

Blaze POV

As we walk in holding hands I notice a few people looking at us.

Dom leans down to my ear and whispers "they are probably wondering how I got such a hot girl."

I can't help but smile up at him because he always says the nicest things.

That's when I notice Eric. He looks me up and down and then noctices we are holding hands. I have never seen someone look so devasted. He looks like someone has stabbed him in the heart.

He really does care about me. I look him in the eyes and he looks so heartbroken. I know he didnt mean to hurt me or sleep with they girl.

I can't do this to him. I can not be the one to cause him such pain.

I tug on Dom's hand. "We need to talk."

We walk out of the dining hall and down the corridor a little bit till he sees the dark hallway. The same one that just a few hours ago Eric was begging me to be his. Oh God I hope he forgives me for this.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" Dom ask me looking into my eyes.

I feel so bad for what I am about to tell him but I have to "Dom I care about you. You are a great guy. But I can't go out with you."

"Yes you can and you will." he says as he shoves me into a corner.

"No I am sorry I can't. I have feelings for somebody else."

I was totally unprepared for what happened next. He forcibly put his lips on mine. He is kissing me so hard that the front of my mouth feels like the bones are going to break. He tries shoving his tongue into my mouth but I keep my lips closed tight. He finally pulls away from me.

"Let me go! I am so sorry but I can't be with you."

"You will be with me. You will be mine."

"Dom I am sorry but I have feelings for someone else. I didn't mean to hurt you."

"It's Eric isn't it? Don't try to deny it. I see the way you two look at each other. Well he isn't having you."

"You have no right to say who can or can not have me. You are my friend you have no say in the matter"

That is when I feel the punch to the side of my face.

"What the fuck Dom?"

"I am so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. I just lost it. I am sorry. Let's go up on the roof and talk in private."

"No! I am not going anywhere with you especially in private."

Then everything goes black.

#######

What the hell happened? I feel like I got hit by a train. As I slowly open my eyes I can see the sun. I am outside somewhere. But where and why?

"Good morning sleepy head."

When I realize it's Dom speaking everything comes back to me.

"What in the hell are you doing?"

"I just wanted to talk to you in private. I just need to make you understand you are mine."

"Dom I am not yours. You know I care about Eric."

Dom just seems to be getting madder and madder by the minute.

"No you will not be with him. I would rather see you dead then with that mean ruthless heartless bastard."

"He is not like that. He has a good side. He is a good person."

Then he slaps me.

"You have a choice. Be with me or be dead."

"If you cared about me like you are saying you do you wouldn't be acting like this."

"Blaze I don't want to be like this but you are making be like this. This is all your fault."

"Fuck you! This is not my fault you are crazy. I will not be with a man who hits me."

Then he punches me so hard I start seeing black spots. He is really going to kill me. I will never be able to tell Eric how I feel. I will never be able to tell him I forgive him.

As I lay on the ground in the fetal postion crying. He starts kicking me. I didnt mean to but I start yelling for Eric. Which seems to make him madder and kick harder.

Then I hear voices and the kicking stops.

I try to sit up but I can't. It hurts to bad. I see Dom fall to the ground covered in blood. As I try to look around I see Eric, max, Four and zeke.

I hear Max's deep voice. "Four take Dom to the infirmary. Eric take blaze back to yours. You have medical supplies right? Good because I don't want her in the infirmary with him. Zeke I need you to start writing up a report on what you saw. And four when you are done let the inniates know they will have the day off tomorrow to let blaze heal. Dismissed." I can hear max's heavy boots leaving the gravel rooftop.

Then I feel Eric's arms lifting me up. I can tell he has been crying. "I am so sorry babe. This is all my fault. I am so sorry."

My throat is too sore and dry to reply to him so I just lift my hand up and rub his face. He turns his head so he can kiss my hand. It hurts like hell but I smile at him.

I can feel that we are walking towards to upper levels where the leaders live.

I try to talk. I want to tell him I am sorry and I still want to be his but I can't get mouth and voice to work.

"Don't say anything babe. Just rest for now. I am taking you back to mine and after I get you taken care of we can talk."

He says some other stuff but I can't hear him because everything goes black.

What do you think? I just couldn't bare the thought of them not being together and I wanted Eric to be the hero. Was it to soon for her to forgive him? Do you think he will stay faithful?
